Bruce Dickinson undergoes cancer treatement

Earlier today, the official website of Iron Maiden posted the following announcement:

Just before Christmas, Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson
visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which
revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven week
course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. As the
tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely
good. Bruce’s medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with
the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for
Bruce to get back to full fitness. In the meantime we would ask for your
patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we
update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the
circumstances and the whole team are very positive.
